Get answers to the most frequently asked questions about artificial grass and putting greens in the San Francisco Bay Area. Learn about costs, lifespan, maintenance, pet-friendly options, installation, and why premium turf can provide lasting beauty, performance, and value for your home or commercial property.
-- 1. Is it worth getting artificial grass?
Absolutely. It is the perfect solution to just about any traditional lawn obstacle. No more weekends spent mowing, lower water bills, reduced landscaping maintenance costs, no more dead grass patches or muddy areas, and improved drainage for spaces that struggle with water pooling. Homeowners can enjoy stunning aesthetics all year round, increasing curb appeal and property value. Not to mention the environmental benefits of drastically reducing carbon emissions, water usage, and preventing harmful fertilizers from polluting local waterways.
2. What is the lifespan of artificial grass?
The lifespan of artificial grass greatly varies depending on the quality of the turf as well as the quality of the installation. Cheap turf can deteriorate quickly, losing turf fibers and developing tears in the backing system. A cheap installation can result in lifted corners, rippled lawn surfaces, tears in the lawn, and more. That being said, some brands, if paired with cheap or improper installation can have very short lifespans. Other brands with professional installation can last 10-15 years on average. SYNLawn turf with professional installation can last over 20 years and is supported by an industry-leading limited lifetime manufacturer’s warranty. SYNLawn also offers refresh and repair services to extend the life of residential or commercial artificial grass installations.
3. What are the best artificial grass options for residential lawns?
The best artificial grass options for residential lawns are SYNLawn brand turf types. SYNLawn turf is the only plant-based synthetic turf in the industry. USDA Certified Biobased and manufactured PFAS-free in the USA. SYNLawn Bay Area artificial turf is backed by more than 50 years of research and development to provide the highest standard of quality in the industry and a very competitive cost. SYNLawn turf features exclusive turf technologies such as HeatBlock™ for cooler surface temperatures, sugarcane-based Super Yarn™ for tough fibers infused with fade resistance, antimicrobial enhancements, static reduction, and more.

It also incorporates antimicrobial enhancements to prevent stain- and odor-causing bacteria. SYNLawn turf also features Super Drain+ which offers unmatched drainage of up to 1,200 inches per hour. This means no more mud, surface pooling, or flooded lawn areas, although some additional drainage may be needed. Not only is SYNLawn turf the cleanest, safest, and most eco-friendly turf in the industry, but it is also the most realistic looking.

4. How much does artificial turf installation cost per square foot?
The cost per square foot depends greatly on the quality of the turf and the installation. Cheap, low-quality turf can average $2-$6 per square foot, or $8-$15+ per square foot with installation. Premium artificial grass that will last longer, offer superior realism, and include exclusive features such as heat and fade resistance, superior durability and drainage, antimicrobial enhancements for stain and odor resistance, and more can average $4-$8 per square foot, or $11-$20+ per square foot with installation. Specialty turf installations such as pet turf, putting greens, or playground turf projects may fall into this price range as well, but cost may vary depending on any additions that may be needed such as gopher mesh, golf green customizations, playground shock pads and more. SYNLawn has over 50 different turf types at different price points to accommodate any project type or budget as well as complimentary design consultations to find the perfect artificial turf options for any project and budget.
5. What are the best types of pet turf for dogs with heavy chewing habits?
For heavy chewers and dogs that like to dig, SYNLawn pet turf offers exceptional durability and safety. Its exclusive EnviroLoc+™ backing securely locks fibers in place, while Super Yarn™ resists wear, fading, and heavy use. Manufactured PFAS-free with plant-based materials, SYNLawn provides one of the safest and most durable pet turf systems available.
6. What happens to artificial grass when dogs pee on it?
Quality matters. Inferior turf can trap moisture, bacteria, and odors due to poor drainage. SYNLawn pet turf features SuperDrain+™, allowing drainage of up to 1,200 inches per hour, along with antimicrobial protection and pet-friendly infill that help minimize stains and odors. Occasional rinsing with a hose helps keep the surface clean and odor-free.
7. How to clean artificial turf?
Artificial turf requires very little maintenance. Remove leaves and debris with a leaf blower and occasionally rinse the surface with a hose. For pet areas, promptly remove solid waste and use turf cleaners when needed. SYNLawn's Refresh Program provides professional maintenance, including power brooming, debris removal, drainage restoration, allergen reduction, and infill replenishment to keep turf looking and performing its best.
8. What are the best artificial turf options for a backyard putting green?
